The lottery designed by Roque is an instant lottery, which is limited by the technical level at this time. Although the super lottery in the United States is more attractive, it is not possible to realize it now. The only way is to use instant lottery.
.
In fact, the profitability of instant lottery tickets is also good. The maximum prize for a five-cent lottery ticket is 10,000 rand, which is equivalent to the annual income of 100 middle-class families. Roque knows how much money lottery tickets can make, Ade.
But I didn’t know, so I was a little hesitant when I knew this number.
"Since it is about getting rich overnight, there must be a real possibility of getting rich overnight. Only in this way can we attract more people to buy. We have to study the psychology of customers. This is a long-term sales behavior. It is not just to get one ticket and leave. The more time it takes, the more people will buy it."
The longer it is, the wider the coverage will be, and more people will be attracted to participate." Rock knows how crazy those who buy lottery tickets are. One hundred and two hundred is not attractive enough, so the bonus should be as high as possible. p>
"Locke, have you ever considered the impact?" Ade doesn't like this idea of getting rich overnight. Lottery does have certain negative effects.
"We have considered banning spinach in southern Africa, but there is no real ban. There is so much underground spinach in various places that the police can't catch it. In this case, let's just let the federal government take over. Anyway, no matter what, we can't catch it.
You will lose money." Roque is also very helpless. If he can, Roque is not willing to use lottery to make money, but what should he do if he doesn't? Insufficient funds in other departments can reduce expenditures and increase revenue, but the Ministry of National Defense cannot.
The military has developed to this day and has become a highly specialized industry. The old idea of issuing a mobilization order and temporarily recruiting civilians to fight is no longer feasible. The military of various countries has begun to transform into professionalism. With the continuous upgrading of weapons, soldiers
It is no longer a job that can be done by just pulling in someone. It requires long-term and high-intensity professional training. The troops recruited temporarily are cannon fodder. There are only so many people in Southern Africa, and we really can’t afford it.
For southern Africa, the navy that has been established and the air force that is about to be established are both high-tech arms. The army needs training, let alone training. Whether it is building warships or aircraft, it also requires a large number of skilled workers, so even if the factory has no orders
We cannot stop work. Once work is stopped, it will be too late to resume work.
So Luo Ke knew the side effects of lottery tickets, but still had no choice.
"Okay, let's give it a try first." Adelaide conceded. The side effects of the lottery will only appear later. Now the federal government's financial crisis is urgent.
Then try it first. Roque will definitely not let the Ministry of Defense come forward, but will give the job to Christian. He will not try it in Pretoria, but choose Cape Town.
Christian is still very reliable. He has formed a professional team to sell lottery tickets. The sales work is definitely not accomplished overnight. At least one month in advance must be promoted in order to be an instant hit.
Rock, no matter how Christian operates, this matter is actually not that difficult. The key is credibility. As long as credibility is guaranteed, the lottery's ability to attract money is very strong.
Looking back, the focus of Roque's work is still the Ministry of National Defense. This year, the Ministry of Defense has added more than 30 graduates from the Army Academy, plus more than 20 graduates from Nyasaland University. Roque is preparing to phase out all
The old soldiers left over from the colonial period have all been replaced by young people.
"Lord, this is too radical." Derek Dodd was a little worried. Rejuvenation is a good thing, but if it is done too hastily, good things can turn into bad things.
"I said step by step." Roque also knew not to rush, and he didn't say that he would drive people away immediately. It also takes a process for young people to get familiar with the work. In addition to the newly established Naval Department, the Ministry of National Defense now has seven departments under its jurisdiction.
, with nearly 300 staff members, it is impossible to replace them all at once.
"Lord, the news just came that a rebellion broke out in the Congo Free State——" Before Derek Dodd could speak, Angel came in to report.
The Congo Free State has always been unsettled. In addition to Yaya's men causing trouble, the resistance of the local Yakoma and Tetera people has become increasingly fierce. Some areas bordering Nyasaland have long been semi-independent.
The Belgian government was unable to suppress the situation, and the large companies that contracted the land hired troops from Europe to barely maintain local plantations.
Just three days ago, the Tetera people in the eastern part of the Congo Free State rebelled again. Unlike the sporadic rebellions before, this time the rebellion was huge. In just three days, nearly 100,000 Tetera people joined the rebels.
, because the area where the rebellion broke out is located in the border area between Congo Free State and Nyasaland, the rebellion has actually had an impact on Nyasaland.
"Send a telegram to the Congo Free State and ask them if they can maintain the situation. If not, we can help." Roque is enthusiastic. This kind of excitement is worth joining in.
"Lord, the Prime Minister's phone number——" Barton also hurried over.
Ade is also for the rebellion in the Congo Free State.
When Roque came to Ader's office, Joseph Cuiller, the Belgian ambassador to Southern Africa, was also there. When he saw Roque, Joseph Cuiller had a look of bitterness and hatred on his face, and his eyes were almost red.
Rock nodded to Joseph Queller as a greeting and sat directly next to Ade.
"Locke, did you know that a rebellion broke out in the Congo Free State?" Ade was in a happy mood now. Although the federal government of Southern Africa is a bit poor, it doesn't have so many troubles.
The annual funding for the Ministry of National Defense is indeed not wasted.
"I just found out." Rock really just found out.
"Lord Nyasaland, how could you just know-" Joseph Quiller gritted his teeth and looked at Roark as if he were looking at his father's murderer.
"What do you want to say? I planned the uprising in the Congo Free State? Please think about it with your brain. If I planned it, the rebels should have reached the west coast." Rock, you're welcome. These people are persecuted and delusional.
Symptoms.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Joseph Cuiller was speechless. Roque was a notorious habitual offender when it came to subversion, and the results were also famous. Even the Germans were severely torn off a piece of flesh by Roque. If Roque really wanted to attack the Congo Free State,
The Belgians really can't handle it.
Don't think that the mercenaries of those big companies are as strong as the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company. In fact, they are just hooligans who can be used to bully Africans. But in the face of organized rebels, mercenaries are useless. Ade just smiled and said nothing, sitting back and watching Joseph Cuiller slump. Rock is so easy to mess with. Speak carefully, and Rock might be able to help——
It's impossible. Even if Joseph Cuiller knelt down and kowtowed, Rock wouldn't help.
In colonial matters, if you have the ability to maintain order, you can dominate. If you don't have the ability to maintain order, you deserve what you deserve. There was Portugal before and then there was the Netherlands. The world in 1910 is no longer the world in 1909.
"Lord Harewood, our Belgium has always maintained friendly relations with the British Empire, and the Congo Free State has also been good-neighborly and friendly with southern Africa -" Joseph Queller no longer targeted Roark, but instead cried to Ade, hoping that southern Africa
Can lend a helping hand.
At least don't add fuel to the fire.
"Ahem—" Roque really felt his throat was scratchy, and he didn't mean to spoil the atmosphere.
Joseph Queller didn't think so and simply glared.
"Sorry, my throat is a little itchy, I'm allergic to pollen -" Rock is not embarrassed, Rock can do whatever he wants on his own territory.
It’s almost time for crape myrtle flowers to bloom again. Pretoria, like Johannesburg, is full of crape myrtle trees throughout the city. During the annual flower season, the blooming flowers are indeed very beautiful, but those with pollen allergies should be careful.
Not very friendly.
"Then we should go to Ziwei Hospital for a checkup." Ade said seriously. The former Minister of National Defense had just been discharged from the hospital, and the current Minister must not have any health problems.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, I can still hold on." Rock also talked to Adela seriously, as for Joseph Quiller's mood.
Who cares!
"Lord——" Joseph Cueller is already on the verge of breaking out. Even if Belgium is weak, Joseph Cuiller is still an envoy of a country. Roque and Ade's performance is indeed not very respectful.
"Sorry Joseph, go on." Ade took a serious listening posture.
Joseph Queller didn't know how to proceed.
The most realistic option is to ask for help from southern Africa to maintain order in the Congo Free State.
But if you can't say this, your own country's colonies are full of rebellions, and you can't suppress them. Instead, you have to beg for help from other countries, and it's a weasel-like country, so it's really like opening the door to thieves.
"Mr. Queller, if I were you, I would go back and reorganize the army right now to prepare for war. It would be great if we could suppress the rebels. If not, then it is best to give up directly to avoid wasting blood." Roque was still making sarcastic remarks. This dumb man owes Belgium a lot.
The kind that has no place to cry out for injustice.
"We will never give up. Even if Belgium fights to the last man, we will not give up even an inch of our territory." Joseph Cuiller was very tough.
Rock didn't talk nonsense and gave a thumbs up to Joseph Cueller, hoping that Joseph Cueller would do what he said.
Such cruel words actually make no sense. Belgium is not like Switzerland, which can really mobilize all the people in the face of war. Previously, Leopold II was in trouble at home and abroad, and the Belgian government took the opportunity to steal from Leopold II.
After taking away the management rights of the Congo Free State, the Belgian government has finally tasted the bitter consequences. Without diamonds, there is no way to do the porcelain work.
Speaking of which, the Belgian government was also manipulated by Leopold II. Although Leopold II nominally handed over the management rights of the Congo Free State, before handing over the management rights, Leopold II would
Almost the entire Congo Free State has been contracted to a few large companies, and the Belgian government has received nothing but pitiful taxes.
It is strange that the royal family and the government of a country can engage in intrigue to such an extent.
